"My friend from Cambridge who went to Aberdeen previously took your course and said that it was great.
Most alumni from my course at Cambridge say that Bayfield is not up to industry standard, so I decided to sign up for Ascension to be ahead of my peers in recruitment season." Ascension Learner, 2023

I am looking for a role in real estate private equity, is this right for me?

Ascension courses have been designed by RE PE investors who wanted to improve the skills of early stage and graduate employees. This is exactly what you need to know if you want to become and investor or developer. Nothing more, nothing less. This is why Ascension is used by groups like LaSalle Investment Management to train their teams.

I've seen other courses like Break into Wall Street, Bayfield Training and Adventures in CRE, how is this different?

The key differences are:
- Most courses are focused on the US market. Ascension is focused on the UK market and follows RICS guidelines.
- UK courses are generally taught by academics. Ascension is designed and delivered by RE PE investors with £££bns of transaction experience.

Can I get support when I'm studying?

Ascension provides a real estate private equity professionals mentor for each learner, providing live support with messaging / emails and weekly drop-in classes on zoom.

Top investment companies use Ascension Training to build essential skills

"Ascension provided the opportunity to build up knowledge on PERE financial modelling in a way of building blocks that effectively conveyed the fundamental aspects of valuing a real estate deal in a simple, but comprehensive way. What most attracted me to the course was that the financial modelling exercises and case studies mirrored what is expected to deliver at a PE real estate investment role, which is a major differentiator over other financial modelling courses. Furthermore, the one-to-one sessions with a mentor provided the opportunity to discuss in depth about the market and analyse all aspects of a deal. Hence, this course is an incredibly valuable experience, as it provides a holistic view about the real estate industry, and it enables to implement in practice, while doing the course, through different case studies and financial modelling exercises."
